Germantown, MD Massive Red Glow ~9:45 PM Eastern
Glancing up while standing on my deck at about 9:45pm in Germantown, MD, stretching across almost 50% of my view of the sky was a massive, streaking, almost completely deep red glowing light coming from the North. There were about a dozen illuminated street lights and the lights of neighbors' patios on as well and was by no means very dark outside. The sky was very clear with no clouds, but I live in a city-suburb that puts off light and doesn't often provide for ideal views of the night sky. Absolutely and incredibly stunning to have such a show as tonight from my own patio here in Maryland. Faded away almost as quickly as I saw it, long enough to only phone only one family member 20 miles away who caught a glimpse as it disappeared.-Rob Lynn

Thank you Rob!

Columbia, South Carolina ~9:30 PM

Hey quick question what could explain a reddish fog like haze in the sky just notice this five minutes ago and now it is gone, could this be related to the fireball from earlier?
I wasn`t in the same path area as the meteor but off in the same diretion saw it around 930 and it was visible for a little over a minute and seemed to grow larger then go away. -Adam G. 

Thank you Adam!

Dallastown PA between 9:30 - 9:45 EST
Witnessed vivid red sky in Dallastown PA between 9:30 - 9:45 EST. Sky was a vivid red in two separate areas, one area had streaks of white light (almost like evaporation lines), vivid red faded to light pink and disappeared within 10-15 minutes. Appeared in eastern sky -Denise  

Thank you Denise!

Espyville, PA  ~9:20-9:50 PM 
Hello, My name is Rachell I witnessed something tonight with my children as we were driving in the car home. We live in Espyville pa just on the ohio border, about 40 min from lake erie. While traveling north on Lynn Rd in espyville my daughters and I saw this thick green band across the lower part of the sky, my daughter said maybe its the milky way and I said maybe it was thick fog rolling in, s we drove about 100 yards all of a sudden we the sky lite up with what looked like blood read beams of light across the sky this lasted for about 30 min eventually it disapeared over lake erie way.This was about 9:20 eastern standard time and lasted till about ten mins to ten. I googled this on the internet as soon as I got home and found your site, and it said youd like to hear from anyone who saw this and what they saw. So I am emailing what we saw. I even went and picked up my friend and drove her back the same way we had seen it and she could see the faint red color that was disappearing . My older daughter and I were amazed by this, but at the same time it freaked my youngest out and she explained she was scared and wanted us to get back in the car. I have to admit, alot of things went through our minds as we tried to rashionalize what we were seeing. I have never in my life saw something like this! It was amazing but scary at the same time. Then just after the blood color sky faded I witnessed two shooting stars in the same area the color had faded over. So by now you can imagine we are freaked out thinking to myself " is the sky on fire and ready to fall" I know that sounds crazy but all of that was crazy to witness. Thank you for your time, I hope our encounter of what we saaw and the time we saw it helps your research.Sincerly, Rachell  Thank you Rachell!

SpaceWeather.Com reports:
CME IMPACT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Oct. 24th around 1800 UT (2 pm EDT). The impact strongly compressed our planet's magnetosphere and may have exposed geosynchronous satellites to solar wind plasma. Mild to moderate geomagnetic storms are possible in the hours ahead as Earth's magnetic field continues to reverberate from the hit. Sky watchers in Scandinavia, Canada, and northern-tier US States should be alert for auroras, especially during the hours around local midnight. Check http://spaceweather.com for updates.

Edisto Beach, SC  Meteor ~7:20 PM 24OCT2011
Around 7:20pm Oct 24, 2011 I saw a bright orange ball slowly moving across the sky. It had a long orange tail with flecks of orange coming out from the tail all around it. I was on Edisto Beach, SC with my back to the Atlantic Ocean walking back to the main road and it was moving from the left to the right and then disappeared. It was oddly slow moving compared to ones I have seen before.
Thanks, -A. R.  Thank you Anna.!


Meteor in S,C,
Approximately 7:23 PM on October 24, 2011 - While parking my car at home, I witnessed an apparent meteor moving from SW to ENE. The object was significantly lower in the sky that most meteor sightings I've had. It was bright orange/red in color. Brightest object in the sky without question. Lasted close to 2 seconds from my sightline. -Kevin Thank you Kevin!

Watkinsville, Georgia

Tonight, around 7:20 PM, as we were leaving the Dairy Queen in Watkinsville, Georgia, we saw a bright object falling slowly from the northeast to the east. It lasted about 3 to 4 seconds. It was white for the most part, with a faint orange/red around the edges. It then started to go green as it fell behind the trees. It was gone by the time we cleared the trees on Highway 53. We were in an SUV so if it made any sound, I didn't hear it. It was as bright as maybe negative 2 magnitude or so. This is the second one I have spotted this year. I also saw the one back on May 29th of this year. -Ira Thank you Ira!

Charlotte, North Carolilna 28262 Meteor ~7:30 p.m. Monday October 24
I was sitting on the porch last night and witness this huge red ball of fire with a short but broad white tail streaking across the sky. It was not quite dark and the sky was still light and cloudless. This thing was huge - bigger and closer than any other meteor that I have ever seen. And it actually seemed very low in the sky. I would say that it was going in a eastwardly direction - maybe east/northeast. It passed by very quickly maybe a matter of seconds. I ran out in the yard to see if I could still see it beyond the trees but by that time it was gone. Did anyone else report this and do you know what it was? I would like to hear back from somebody.
Thanks, Lynda C.  Thank you Lynda!


Charleston, SC
I saw a pretty cool fire ball last night around 7:15 EST. I live On James Island in Charleston,SC. It was moving from southwest to northeast and was about 20 degrees in elevation + or - 5 degrees. I saw it for about 4 seconds. It had pieces falling off and fizzing out and was at times red and/or yellow. One of the best I have seen. -Steve L  Thank you Steve!


Clemson, SC
Saw a very large, slower moving object travel across the southern sky. From Clemson, SC it appeared at an elevation of ~45 degrees and traveled west to east. This object was the only object visible against a darkening sky. It glowed bright yellow. Three smaller pieces broke off of the main object and trailed it until it dropped below the treeline. This is the brightest meteor I've ever seen! My son and I were outside with his Cub Scout group when the meteor passed over. 

-Samuel Gray  Thank you Samuel!

Waynesboro, GA (30 miles S of Augusta) at approx. 7:25
I saw a very large bright object going ENE in the N sky around 50 degrees above the horizon. I assume it was a meteor--it seemed low, but not moving as fast as some meteors I have seen. It lasted several seconds; I saw it from the position of 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock. Four of us were in the yard; it caught my eye and disappeared behind the trees. The brightest and longest-lasting one I have ever seen. Thanks to all who have validated what we saw by posting. -Tim M  Thanks Tim!


Charlotte NC: 7:15 pm EST:10/24/2011

Looking towards the south west horizon at 7:15 pm 10/24/2011 a very large and bright fireball that was comet looking with a long tail coming from the North and traveling Southeast. It was the brightest event I have ever seen and it was also the lowest fireball I have seen. It looked to be on fire and at normal airplane height. It was traveling very slow and burning bright. It lasted so long that I told my wife to look at that and she turned around and saw the whole thing. I’d say about 5 seconds. -John P  Thank you John!


Charleston, SC -  24OCT2011 - 7:21 p.m.

Started in the NW part of the sky, very bright with grayish tail, heading eastward. 30 degrees above horizon, lasted 3-4 seconds, much brighter than any planet, not as bright as the moon, brighter than approach lights from aircraft. Color was white leading fireball with grayish tail.- Jamie J. Thank you Jamie!

Elko, GA Time Here:7:20 Date Here10/24/11

My wife and I saw the same meteor as posted by others in Georgia for October 24, 2011; bright object entered atmosphere headed easterly at approximately 35 degrees above the horizon. We visually saw it for about 3 seconds; I could still see it traveling through tree limbs as it moved to the east finally losing sight of it because of the trees. At first we suspected a satellite then we read the German satellite had entered Sunday. Moving much slower than a shooting star, it was a bright ball, seen just after the sun set but still had a blue sky. Thanks, Mike.  Thanks Mike!


Fort Mill, SC.
Saw very bright light last night around 7:30 as my wife and I were walking, in Fort Mill, SC
She saw it first and said “Look at that airplane … or is that a shooting star.”
I looked up and saw it and said “that’s exactly what it is”, as the light extinguished.
Traveling from west to east across the southern sky, last for about 4 or 5 secs, very bright light with long tail, moving very fast, and appeared to be just beyond the overhead trees. Really neat –
Charles Sides  Thank you Charles!


Suwanee, GA
I was at my horse farm with my daughters and some friends, located on Old Atlanta Road, Suwanee, GA 30024.  We were petting the horses talking and my friend looks over me and screams what is that!!?? we all saw it!  Looking east * projector line of view would be north of the north Carolina and South Carolina border* we saw a very bright light coming towards or away from us and headed down to earth to a fade.. Lasted about 5 seconds.. Very bright greenish with somewhat of a trial... Gorgeous we were all amazed! :) -Helen  Thank you Helen!


BURNSVILLE, NC

Observed a spectacular fireball as I was leaving my deerstand around 720 PM EDT 24OCT2011
Much brighter than any other object in the sky. Travelled roughly SE for 3-4 seconds fairly low in the sky and began to break apart before disappearing. Bright white in color.
Much larger and closer than any shooting star I've ever seen. -David N. Thank you David!


Greenville, SC
We were setting on our patio and saw large fireball/meteor shoot over from West to East.
Biggest one either of us has ever seen. What a sight! It was low and big and looked like it would make it to the ground eventually.-Terry Mcglone  Thank you  Terry!

Boerne, Texas Meteor 07:06 AM 23OCT2011
Sighted from Boerne, TX area (north of San Antonio) - 10-23-2011 at 0706 or 0707 in the NNE sky. My guess: started aprox 60 degrees above the horizon and trailed down to about 40 degrees above horizon, mostly on a downward track towards the horizon, lasting a few seconds. Brightest and most colorful I have ever seen, by far. It appeared to leave a "contrail", similar to aircraft, but the contrail dissipated into wisps much more quickly. - John Collins  Thank you John!

Junction, Texas Long-Lived Fireball  7:06 AM 23OCT2011
I saw a brilliant, long-lived fireball in the eastern sky today at 7:06 a.m. while driving north on Texas highway 83 about ten miles south of Junction, TX. It left a smoke trail that lingered for over five minutes. It was bright enough to cause everyone in the car to turn their heads and stare at it. -sheartiste Thank you P!

Converse, Louisiana Blue-Green Ball ~7:00 AM 23OCT2011
At about 7:00 am cst over the western sky I observed a blue green ball with a long streak that lingered for about 2 to 5 seconds. It appeared to be about 100 to 150 miles away , but I am not a good judge at distance in the sky. I couldn't hear a sound due to the equipment I was operating. Thanks Justin Garison Thank you Justin!

Austin, Texas ~7:05 AM CDT 23OCT2011
I was finishing a run and was surprised by a flash that briefly illuminated the ground. In the north sky was a long streak streaming into several pieces in a wide swath. The streaking lights lasted about 3 seconds. It left a smoke trail that stayed for a few minutes. It was the most spectacular meteor that I’ve ever witnessed. Thanks, Dave  Thank you Dave!

East of Fort Worth, Texas

I was east of Fort Worth Texas around 7am 23Oct2011. In the south western sky over Fort Worth (60 degrees maybe - I'm guessing), I saw a long bright blue streak followed by an even brighter white/orange flash of light. At first I thought it might be a part of the German satellite that is supposed to crash this weekend, but I guess not. It was quite something to see! -Jeff B. 

Thanki you Jeff!

Leander, TX
My family saw a beautiful meteor trail at about 7:05am on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2011 over Leander, TX. We were reaching into the back of our car to unload a few thing for church when we all saw a bright white/blue flash on the ground outside. Looking up almost directly overhead - maybe a little to the NW - we saw a bright blue & grey 'con' trail that was as wide as your pinkey finger at arms length and a little over a handlength (at arms length) long. based on Google earth and where we were parked in the parking lot the trail was oriented WNW to ESE, unfortunately we didn't see the direction it was traveling, as we were under the hatchback of the car. The trail quickly distorted due to winds, but was visible for about 3-4 minutes.
Thanks - Jeff, Kathy & Barret N.  Thank you Jeff N.!
